North Park is down to $22,995 for black ones w/o moonroof and changer. Now I'm pissed :mad2:

[Silver_04]

Holy cow that's cheap. That's less for a new one than what I received on mine for trade in a month ago.

Tom,
Mark Clayton is the Internet sales manager and he quoted me that price in an e-mail. I dont think the price was exclusive for me. I'm sure they just want to unload them. Earlier in the day he quoted me 25,995. Seven hrs later they dropped to 22k. Hope this helps.

Man I just tried buying a black '04 here in California. Two months ago I had them down to $26,500. This Friday they wouldn't go below $27,500 !! I walked out. I won't pay over the $26,500. Man 22,995 I should make a trip!!

At that price, I would!

[Rick-n-Miami]

Indeed. I called them Saturday morning and that's the price quoted if using Ford Credit to finance. I put on reserve an 04 Silver Birch with Light Flint and all the options. Even with the cost of shipping it to me, the total is quite low :)

Now I just need to sell my 2002 GM LSE! :(

[RoyLPita]

Welcome aboard, Rick.

[Marauderjack]

Glad I'm not trying to sell mine right now!!! :( :mad2:

After they are all sold "as new" I hope we might see a little increase in "used value"?? :help:

I plan to keep mine but you never know what lies around the corner?? :rolleyes:

How much is shipping from the dealer?

[Rick-n-Miami]

Basic *insured* shipping was $1k to Miami (door-to-door). I opted for the covered trailer shipping option which is $1.6k. I'd rather not have the car exposed to the elements en route.

wELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric91Z]

This is the dealership down in Texas, right? Gosh, I wish the timing were better. Finally get hired on full time with the company I have been contracting for and find out there is a new baby on the way. With those prices, there is no way there might be one sitting around in the spring next year.

Darn it!!!

Ya, well I remember back in 1987 when the Grand Nationals were being "dumped" by the dealers, too. Now you can't touch a low mile example for under $20,000.00 They are so sweet. I had one, shouldn't have sold it. It was crazy fast, black and beautiful. What a machine. And the GNX? Darth Vadars original staff car. What a beast. Kinda like SC'D MM status.

The MM's are destined for the same fate. Wait awhile, you'll see. Next spring when the entire new car inventory has been dumped they'll be a sudden resurgence of interest. Prices woill go up. Hey, people love our cars - here's an indication - I've been looking for a 74 BMW 2002 Tii to purchase. Saturday I found a beautiful one at a specialty car dealership in Cohassett. The MM was parked and while I was talking to the salsman about the Tii a group from the dealership gathered around the MM oooohing and ahhhing it. They were all saying that you can't find any more new MM's and man, what an awesome car, blah, blah,blah. Stuff that legends are made of. People will ache for these cars in a couple years. Mark my words.

2004 MM Silver Birch - 1800 miles.

If I had a few spare bucks Id buy another one and just keep it until my silver one wears out.

n. park is DOWN to 25......

this dealer has THE inventory on the L/m product line
Logan you should try to get tham as a regional or total sponser........if you still interested in this type of stuff....

MattI was in the same situation three weeks ago.
Even when I told them I had my eye on a super clean blue '03 for many K less, they wouldn't budge.
I am VERY happy with Blue. :-)

Paul - I'm down on the South Shore near Plymouth (East Bridgewater)

That M6 is absolutely stunning. It should be in a museum; it's a work of art. The new Bimmers are absolutely pathetic in design. I just missed buying an 87 M6 a few years ago. I've always lusted after those cars. Just beautiful. I had an 87 535IS for about 6 years. Rock solid, great ride. Got 265,000 miles out of it. Basically trouble-free. Loved it. The Tii is in terrific shape. Total restore and new paint three years ago. Black and funky. Going back this weekend to further inspect/try to deal. He wants 6K right now. It's been sitting for a few months. Trying to get it for 4K. We shall see.

Be well.

Dave

[RF Overlord]

Hey beemer...long time no see...!

I'm not a huge fan of the Teutonic marques, but your M6 is beautiful...apparently even BMW doesn't make 'em like that anymore...

It left the dealer on Friday by Dependable Auto Shippers (I hope they are as their name implies!). It should be at my door later this week!

I agree!! We are on the leading edge of appreciating the MM. Others will follow.

North Park is down to $22,995 for black ones w/o moonroof and changer. Now I'm pissed :mad2:Wow! Was that for an '03 or an '04? Would love to trade my '03 300B in for a black '04 and have Lidio slap in a new Trilogy blower in it. Was thinking of flying to Michigan, buying the car there and driving it right to Lidio's. Oh well, just dreaming again, I guess . . .

[hdwrench]

all they have left are 2004's

[jgc61sr2002]

Rick - Congrats. Enjoy your new ride. :D

[Rick-n-Miami]

My car is still in shipment, but I noticed they're down to 18 now. That's 7 sold in 1 week.

Rick

[Eric91Z]

Kind of suprising that 12 of those left are DTR. And only one black left with the moonroof. I wish i could say that black one was going to be mine!!! :bigcry:

They are all 2004's Shooter,make the deal I'll be your eyes on the ground if you want I'm only about 15 miles from NPLM.

[hdwrench]

i really hate to hear they sold that many in one week since I am so close to buying one. I am waiting for $ from selling 2 vehicles to come through. Based on the current inventory there are only 2-3 cars id consider buying... and they might not be there when i finally get paid..looks like next week now.

Call them up and start talking with them. They can put a $100 charge on your credit card to reserve the car. This will tie it up for at least a week if you wanted. If the deal falls through, you lose $100, but if it doesn't, you saved the car you really wanted.

The sales person I dealt with is James Haley. He's sort of new, so doesn't know the ropes real well, but he did help me. Of course, I do not yet have the car, so I can't vouch that it's in one piece, etc.

[hdwrench]

well i am almost there... I put down a deposit on a MM today.

I called up NPLM and told them I wanted to put a deposit down on their last 04 black/charcoal 22995 no moonroof. 15 mins later they called back and said someone had just sold that car before they got my deposit...

but they had one last black/charocal left. it had the moonroof, spoiler, and window tint. $23.9. so i got the deposit in on that one.

he told me it also has a sliver pin stripe... i dunno if i am going to like that, guess ill have to see it. If i dont like it hopefully it is just the tape on kind i can peel off.

I am supposed to pick it up Nov 29. That is the day I was told "worst case scenario" i'd have the $$ for selling my bike.

if all goes well ill be doin this soon.... :banana:

[Eric91Z]

Just checked the NPLM website and they are down to 12 cars left - only Silver Birch and DTR. No blacks left. Guess I would have a hard time finding a new Black with sunroof if I win the lottery tonight...

[TechHeavy]

Good luck on making this happen. You won't regret this decision. Besides that, it looks like you are gonna get a great deal. Here's grinnin' at ya. :D

[hdwrench]

huh? I never heard of a pin strip coming frome the dearlership. wow.
yea, they put a hand painted pin stripe on it, window tint, and spoiler. maybe they just added them to the car to show people what it looked like so they could sell more of them. who knows? i hope it looks good. I'll find out monday.

[hdwrench]

It looks like "all systems GO"... I booked a flight to San Antonio for Monday morning. I should be driving home in my 04 MM black/charocal Monday afternoon! :banana:


North Park only had 10 MM's left on their site at last check and they are dealing! nplm.com

[Eric91Z]

Yup, according to the website they have one of my second choices still available: Silver Birch with Dark Charcoal interior and moonroof.

Hope we will the lottery tonight...

[hdwrench]

yeah i like that silver/charcoal also...


think for the most part they have DTR/light flint left

Congrats on the purchase. I received my car earlier this week and it's a dream! NPLM gave me no problems at all and the purchase was as smooth as could be. I'm sure you'll be happy.

[DEFYANT]

Dam, and I thought I got a good deal! Congrats to you guys!! Are the dealers taking a loss on these cars or what? They are giving them away. I agree with what was said before about the Buick GN compared to the future of the MM. Will take some time though.

[jgc61sr2002]

hdwrench - Congrats and good luck on your purchase. :D :up:

[studio460]

Damn! No black Marauders left! I thought this dealer was in Florida. I could've DONE Texas!

[jakdad]

NPLM is showing just 10 Marauders left.

[hdwrench]

My day started out pretty crappy. I got caught in traffic on the way to the airport and missed my flight... the plane was backing away from the terminal as I ran up. Maybe if the crack security team didnt take 15 mins to decide the buttons on a 80 yr old ladies clothes were the reason that the metal detector was going off, id have made it. :) anyway I caught the next one.

I got to San Antonio and North Park Lincoln Mercury... all went smoothly. I have no complaints. I drove home my 04 black charcoal MM.. it is awesome! I am really happy with it even stock. Maybe because my last car had 90hp... :)

this is the only pic i have right now... was in a hurry to get home. thanks for resizing it mary!

:beer:

Yay! I was very happy with mine too. NPLM is great!

The salesman at NPLM said people were practically getting in fist fights trying to get this car since it was the last black one they had. Luckily for me I had a deposit on it and North Park honored that instead of selling it out from under me to someone that may have paid cash on the spot.

now i feel like part of the family not an outsider! and I'm sure everyone was tired of hearing about "i am going to get one soon" :)

[hdwrench]

If any of you are considering and 04 from North Park you'd better hurry. The way they were talking they had even less than the 10 listed on the website.

They hooked me up in the finance dept too. I got a better rate by joining a credit union down there for $5 and not going through Ford.

I couldnt be happier... unless they threw in a free supercharger, but that didnt happen. :)
